Chocolate Santa Claus copper – 125g

Copper chocolate Santa Claus from Fesey Chocolate Figures for the center of the table

At 125 grams, the copper chocolate Santa Claus from Fesey Chocolate Figures belongs to the larger version of this mold. Its reddish-brown metallic foil displays the matte glimmer of old jugs and kettles, and inside is a hollow figure made of milk chocolate without any banderole.

Copper chocolate Santa Claus is one of the chocolate figures from Fesey, molded and hand-wrapped in Riemerling near Munich. The copper is somewhere between rust-red and dark orange; it does not flash, it glows quietly, and therein lies its difference from the louder gold.

In a kitchen with copper pots, a wooden board, and a linen cloth, this figure stands as if it had always belonged there. For advent coffee, it moves between the pot and the cake plate without stealing the show from either. The 70-gram copper Santa Claus is slightly smaller and features the same warm tone.

A metallic tone between rust and red

Copper ages in the mind, which is why this color immediately evokes workshops, rain gutters, and old kitchens. On the figure, this makes it look less festive and more organic, almost as if it had been sitting on the shelf for years.

Those who prefer to celebrate Christmas in a muted style without any glitter will find the right sheen here. On a tray with pinecones, nut shells, and wax, the figure stands in the middle of its own color family, and a single branch is all that is needed as an accompaniment. Anyone who leaves it out after the fourth Sunday of Advent will not bother anyone until Epiphany.

Height that makes a difference on the table

The larger version offers height, which changes a dining table more than any additional bowl. Among flat plates and lying cutlery, the figure stands upright and gives the eye a focal point in the center.

Even without branding, there is no doubt who the shape represents, as the relief is deep and clean. The beard falls in broad strands, the hood casts its shadow over the face, and the staff runs diagonally to the hem. In the warm tone of the foil, this interplay of light and shadow reads especially soft.

Hand-foiled over beard and hood

After molding, the closed form spins on a centrifuge so that the chocolate coats the walls evenly. Only then is the foil applied, and no machine handles the wrapping of these chocolate figures from Riemerling.

Each foil is applied individually, smoothed against the hem, and guided over the beard and hood until the embossing shows through again. Because every hand works a little differently, no two chocolate figures are exactly alike, and in the company, this is explicitly intended.

Mild milk chocolate with a thin wall

Inside awaits a milk chocolate whose ingredient list places cocoa butter before cocoa mass. The thin wall gives way quickly at room temperature and melts smoothly instead of breaking dry. The head can be separated cleanly, and everything else splits along the folds of the coat.

It remains milky and calmly sweet even when you eat it alongside a strong brewed coffee. A cool, dark place will preserve its earthy shimmer well into December. We keep the remaining chocolate figures from Fesey next to it, from the Christmas tree to the chocolate heart, along with everything for the holiday season.
